I been hangin' round this place I been lookin' through your space
I been waitin' for you I've been waitin' for you
All the places you would go, All the people that you know
I've been lookin' for you I've been lookin' for you
and all those pretty people up on El Cerrito place
They all got somethin' in their pockets all got somethin' on their face
They roll down to La Brea where it meets the boulevard
Singin' hallelujah while they dance over the stars
Chorus
Me I've been lookin' for you baby
I've been lookin' for you baby
I've been lookin' for you baby
I've been lookin' for you baby all night long
Somebody said they might have seen you
Where the ocean meets the land so I've been out here all night lookin'
For your footprint in the sand, did you hear the ocean singin'
Baby did you sing along, while you danced over the water to that ol'
Forgotten song, were you even here at all
Chorus
Somehow I wound up in the desert just after daylight
There's a Joshua Tree grows that little place you always liked
These pioneer town people they got too much to say
If they might have seen you they ain't givin' you away
Now it's been two days
Chorus
Think I'll go back to the city back to El Cerrito place
That's the last time I saw that pretty smile upon your face
I've been lookin' for you baby
